A runs 4/3 times as fast as B. In a race, if A gives a lead of 80 m to B, find the distance from the starting point where they both will meet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 320 m.
Rakesh runs 4/3 times as fast as Mukesh
Let's assume
Rakesh runs 4 meters for every 3 meters that Mukesh runs
Rakesh has a lead of 1m over Mukesh
According to the question, Rakesh gives a lead of 60 m to Mukesh
Then Rakesh will have this lead by covering 60 × 4 = 240 m
Hence, they will meet at a point 240m from the starting point.
